Actually a bear is very unlikely to come after you. I come from an extremely rural part of Alberta, Canada, and large bears would sometimes wander in and near town. They wouldn’t run around swiping people up and murdering them, they would just basically wander around eating garbage and looking for food. The reality is that if you were in the woods with a random bear, unless it was starving or you were near its Cubs, it likely wouldn’t see you as important.
I’ll tell you what though. The bodies of indigenous women would get found in the woods sometimes. Bears didn’t put them there, men did.
The Reddit API nonsense. Truth be told though, I used to go back for a few very specific subs but the site had gotten so bad that I cannot bring myself to use it any more
I’m a music collector and saw this coming. “Music” went from a product you buy, into a service you pay to gain access to. You don’t pay for music, you pay daddy Spotify for access to HIS music.
Vinyl has turned back into the only form of physical music collection.
The amount of credit people give Steve Jobs is such a kick to the nuts to all the engineers that designed those products
This shit is annoying, I like Tiktok
Nah they Incorporated specifically to protect themselves. The company will go bankrupt, but the people will be protected.
I mean I don’t feel underappreciated. I’ve never once had a problem finding a group to play with.
Bass player. It’s just what I do.
China’s govt has been trying to make their country as self sustaining as possible, this is part of that initiative. No one can tell you shit if you’re don’t rely on anyone for external things.
I primarily play indie games anyways, so this doesn’t really apply to me.
Imagine playing a Ubisoft game
Digital purchases are not you buying the product. It’s you buying limited and reversible access to the license to download the file. When you agree to the TOS, you agree to this arrangement.
If you want to actually own something, you should be buying a physical copy of it.
Americans are putting tomato slices on grilled cheese sandos? Fack man, just when I thought y’all couldn’t sink any lower…
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered it haha
I have a Google pixel and use Google services. I also use Lemmy as my gateway into FOSS programs and options.
Perfectly balanced.
I like Tumblr, I hope it sticks around.
It was a the death of 90% of the population to small pox within one generation that allowed colonization. The Europeans were dirty and diseased, untrained peasants. Their firearms at that time were inaccurate single shot rifles, that took minutes to reload. Analysis of indigenous bow techniques showed the common capability to accurately shoot multiple arrows in rapid succession.
And it goes beyond war: Indigenous people didn’t farm as Europeans did, we instead cultivated forests with eidble plant species that complimented each other to kept the soil healthy. The forests across the Americas were thousands of years into a cycle of land management that kept grown food naturally abundant and plentiful, without having to clear the land. Indigenous peoples were expert and managing the population of the animals of their areas as well. We understood which members of an animal population should be hunted, and which should be kept for the health of the species. We then knew how to fully utilize every part of the animals hunted. The core of most indigenous cultures rotated around ethical and efficient management of the land’s resources. What did the Europeans do? Accidentally gave an entire continent a super virus, then stripped the forests clear to plant shitty crops not made for this climate, and hunted countless animal species to extinction. Europeans were not technologically advanced at all. They were just diseased. That’s it.
Rest assured that without smallpox, the Americas would not have been colonized. Population density and technological differences would have made it too dangerous and expensive an undertaking.
